Ever wondered what Rupert Graves might look like in Victorian times? You’re not the only one.

BBC Worldwide has answered your calls and released five new images from the next episode of Sherlock, The Abominable Bride, one of which does indeed feature Lestrade in the 1800s. What’s more, we’ve got the official synopsis, so we can finally learn a little of what’s going on in the special:

We’ve been here before – but what if this wasn’t the modern day but the late Victorian period? What if the world’s most famous consulting detective and his best friend lived in a Baker Street of steam trains, hansom cabs, top hats and frock-coats?

Welcome to ‘Sherlock’ in 1895!

Some things, though, remain reassuringly the same. Friendship, adventure and especially, MURDER…

Why is Thomas Ricoletti a little surprised to see his wife dressed in her old wedding gown? Because, just a few hours before, she took her own life…

Mrs Ricoletti’s ghost now appears to be prowling the streets with an unslakeable thirst for revenge. From fog-shrouded Limehouse to the bowels of a ruined church, Holmes, Watson and their friends must use all their cunning to combat an enemy seemingly from beyond the grave and the final, shocking truth about… the Abominable Bride!

Ah, sounds like a horror movie at Christmastime! Wonderful stuff!

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, The Abominable Bride airs on BBCOne and PBS on 1st January 2016.
